Music & Video Apps Support

Is there a way how to change VLC's icon? Cause it's kind of obvious i'm running application i shouldn't with that orange cone on tray...

Does anybody know if there is any way to add real video support to vlc portable?

hello everyone!

i have problems with vlc media player. the player is great, but for example i can't save the equalizer settings, some graphic settings & etc., why?

The subject line is the message I receive when trying to install VLC Portable. Same thing whether I try through 'Install a New App" on the Portable Apps menu or if I double-click the executable directly. Now what?

Thanks for your help.

I checked these forums and also posted @ videolan.org. No other posts here and no response @ videolan.org.

I am trying to use VLC's stream recording capability.

Facts:

• I have a HTTP style proxy I am behind (SERVERNAME:8080)
• The stream I want to record is a mms:*.asx format.
• I am trying to ultimately make a DVD of a number of these streams

Is VLC capable of streaming behind a proxy?

Any suggestions on other portable or non-portable solutions?

Thanks

I just downloaded VLC Portable and tried to run both a movie and music on it (not at the same time!), but can't get sound on either. The picture is great, but no sound. I have it loaded on a Seagate 100GB portable hard drive, and have it plugged into an HP Pavillion zd7000 laptop in an HP docking station. The sound card works fine, because I can get sound directly from the computer. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I see that 0.86 was released on the 10th of December... It apparently fixes a lot of problems with Flash Video playback. I'm trying to watch one now that won't even load.

If someone could recompile to make it a portable app, I would be ever so grateful...

Movie freezes up for a couple seconds after it has been running for a little over an hour. How can i correct that?

Portable Apps is making its name as something thats easy to install and so on and that regular computer users can use it.

But the lack of Lame MP3 support confuses many people and they dont understand all that 'dll' and 'tar.gz' lingo. so i would recommend adding lame mp3 support by default because the majority of people will probably export to mp3, especially if its a portable app.

Just a heads up that a long-standing bug with UNC filenames has been fixed in official videolan 0.8.6 RC1 nightly build http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win32/branch-20061205-0330/vlc-0.8.6...

Playing files/playlists with accents/umlauts/japanese characters, etc. in the filename was previously impossible.
